Actually, that is a pretty remarkable showing for Platinum lot. Given that Platinum is WAAAAAY out numbered by the number of parking spaces, that's pretty durned good.

Truth be told, there's a ton of great tailgating out at Reliant. Anyone that says different doesn't know what they are talking about.

I thought it was a good showing also, for the same reason, PLUS, we got added to the voting quiet a bit later than the other lots.

Truthfully, I don't care much for this type of thing. I'm not a big fan of the tailgater of the game/year thing either. When fans are out there having a good time, entertaining friends/foes/family, and giving our boys lots of love and support, who cares about competing with each other. I realize it's a publicity thing, and might be good for marketing, but, there's a lot of great fans out there tailgating who keep it small, family centered, tailgate with a few friends, BUT, still contribute a lot to the tailgating atmosphere. I'll never forget the Sunday I was running a little late, pulled into the back row of the platinum lot and had to do a quick stop to keep from hitting this dude holding a platter and a fork. Said he brought to much food for his family and just wanted to share!! His little boy came up to my window and offered me some chips and a coke. NOW THAT MY FRIENDS is tailgating!! A great Texan fan out there with his family, cooking up a storm, and sharing it with fellow fans. BTW:he had fantastic brisket and sausage! This is the type of thing that makes me feel good inside, makes me want to be out there on that parking lot enjoying every minute of being a TEXAN fan!!!

Yea I am Proud that we even got entered, and we "Showed" Win place or show we are still in the money and we and the Raging Bull and the rest of Platinum got in late in a contest that allows you to vote as many times as you can. People have machines to do that for them isn't that right Fat Elvis.
When you hook up a voting machine to your computer you generate many votes in a short time. When you sit at the computer for hours on end voting you need to get a job. We got into the contest which I never thought would happen. Thanks John McClain and Anna Megan. That would have been good enough for me but oh no we Showed, 3rd place in both catagories with 800 spaces and about 200 that really show up. If you want a Tailgating Competition i SAY WE TEAM UP and challange other teams to test thier party ability against all of us. We are all Texans and We all deserve our name in lights cause we stick behind our team Win er I mean 500 lose or draw. We will get better and I am Sure we can win in the playoffs Before 12 years is up. That is the Standard the Cowpies have set and I hope it is extended for them. All in All it was a good competition and it was fun participating, Now back to the 2009 season that is now upon us.
